Teodulija“Duni Mi Duni Lađane” fromSerbian Etno Sound(Hi-Fi Centar 2005)—after the very old-fashioned style of the preceding, I had to show what is being done with the old music these day. This style is sometimes called "Turbo-folk", but most turbo folk is quite different and new-composed.

Radojke i Tineta Živković“Harmonikaško Kolo” from(45 rpm disc)(RTB)—When Radojka Živković came along, the fiddle ruled. She was the one who showed the expressive and subtle qualities of the accordion. She and her husband had a long and very productive recording career.

Moma Stanojević“Detlić (Woodpecker)” fromKola Za Sva Vremena(T. Pics 2000)—yes, that really is the Woody Woodpecker theme. They love American TV and cartoons over there and will often incorporate their tunes into Kolo music

Ljubomir Živkov and Serbian group“Trgnala mi moma Ruma na voda studena” fromTi plaviš, zoro bajna((self produced) 2014)—After having been almost forgotten in Serbia, Tambura music is coming back (it had been kept going in the US since Serbian and Croatian immigrants arrived after 1900). here is one of the leading exponents of the revival in Serbia. This song is in 9/8.

Vlada Panović“Zaječarski Vez” fromVlada Panović(RTB)—Zaječar is in East Serbia, and the favorite dance there is the line dance Vlainja. This is about as fast as they get, and is in old style. Most of the new ones I have heard are a lot slower soe the women can do them in heels...
